I will post a few other old glove photos later, but I enjoy trying to remember when I first got them and having used them myself, or others using them.

I've re-strung part of it at least once, and I don't know if I got it worked on professionally back when I knew a good cobbler that would fix my old gloves. Glove I used right before this one is still in decent shape, a little dry, but completely without any padding. NSFF(astballs).

My gmail is a complete mess. Way too much spam and I miss actual messages I want to see. But, it has gems like this hidden, found only via search.

So the glove my daughter has been using for the past 5 years is only slightly younger than she is.

Still looks & feels good after 17+ years.

Shall we play a game? How old is this glove? 11.5" Nokona "infield" glove, but its most recent use has been in the outfield for softball.

A difference between parents and kids is kids can yell at their parents and the parents aren't going to have nightmares about it.

Are horizontal lines balls and x's strikes?.

Love the multi-color.

“It’s a cliché,” he said, “but music really IS the closest we come to a universal language. It crosses borders as effortlessly as a cloud.”

I learned something about the history of today in this post. Worth reading by everyone. Incredibly what we can learn from actual historians.

We don't need to destroy statues of confederate generals. Just move them to the museum honoring the confederacy and let people admit what they are actually about. Otherwise, put them in the warehouse from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
